Bottle split at L42, thanks to Daniel, 14/11/17. Hazed golden with a decent off white covering that dissipates in time. Nose is green berry funk, hedgerow, damp cloth, hay bale, lemon rind. Taste comprises white grape must, damp wood, hay bale, pissy citric shreds, apple core, green berry fizz, funky tang, stale breads. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Perhaps lacks a bit of depth for the ABV but a tasty enough sour.

Level 42 Bottleshare. Thanks to Osprey. Hazy gold beer, small white head. Palate is light and has a fine minerally crispness. Thin malts, a nice light geuzey vibe. Mild dried fruits. Light finish. Has a pleasant lambic light vibe, not too sour. Mmm Craftwerk though? Give me mid 70s Tangerine Dream and howling Moog Modulars any day!
